Nevada is known as the “Silver State”, but it is our gold production that ranks highest in the nation (79% of US production) and fourth largest in the world. Other minerals and ores produced in the state include: aggregates, barite, copper, diatomite, dolomite, gypsum, limestone, lithium carbonate, magnesium oxide, molybdenum, perlite, precious opals, salt, silica sand, silver and specialty clays.
